Don't Neglect Your Crawl Space
When was the last time you checked your crawl space? If you're like most homeowners in Tennessee, it might have been... never. But here's the thing—neglecting your crawl space can lead to moisture problems, pest infestations, and even structural issues.
Why It Matters in Tennessee
With our humid summers and mild, wet winters, moisture tends to build up in crawl spaces. This can create the perfect environment for mold, wood rot, and critters like termites or rodents to move in.
Quick Tip:
Every spring and fall, do a quick inspection of your crawl space. Look for:
- Standing water or damp insulation
- Musty odors
- Signs of pests
- Damaged or missing vapor barriers
If anything looks off, call in a professional to evaluate it. Preventative maintenance is far cheaper than foundation repairs down the road.
Bonus: Consider installing a dehumidifier specifically designed for crawl spaces—it’s a small investment that can save you big money over time.
